Blizzcon News

Everywhere I look, people are writing about Pandas and how Blizzard is mis-stepping with the new WoW expansion. I looked at the news, shrugged, and moved on. I guess I really am done with WoW.

On the other hand I read everything I could find about the new StarCraft 2 units! They look awesome. It's much more exciting news for me because adding new units totally changes the game balance and the flow of battle. Here's a full list of the new units and changes.

Protoss are (finally) getting some more anti-air and an intriguing new unit that can become any other unit in the game. Unfortunately Carriers are being pulled from multiplayer all together. Some Zerg units are changing or gaining abilities, like the awesome burrowed charge for Ultralisks. They're also getting a new siege unit which resembles a burrowed Broodlord. Terran Hellions will be able to morph into what looks like a giant mechanical firebat. A Terran player will be limited to one Thor at a time, but Thors are getting a huge buff.

Balancing three races must be an unbelievable amount of work. I can't even imagine how much time has gone into it. Needless to say the multiplayer will have a different feel once the new expansion hits. And that, for me, is way more exciting than Pandas.

A Green Mushroom

This is a place for me to write down my thoughts on the world of gaming or any other subject that may catch my attention. Playing and discussing video games has been a big part of my life since I was a little kid. Although I hope to get comments and generate discussion, A Green Mushroom is mainly a spot for me to write about what I love, games.

I hope you enjoy reading A Green Mushroom. Feel free to leave comments.
